Sustainable Home and Garden Saturday May 3rd, 2008 9 a.m.-5 p.m

Santa Barbara City College Continuing Education, 
Saturday May 3rd, 2008 9 a.m.-5 p.m Adam Green, 
moderator. Meet at SBCC, EBS-309 for lecture, 
carpool to sites. Site visits limited to first 25 
people to sign up. Bring lunch.

This workshop led by ecological designer Art 
Ludwig will include the following topics: 
integrated design for water supply, water reuse, 
runoff management, energy efficiency, food 
production, materials management, and economic 
sustainability of home and garden.

We will connect the large-scale environmental 
challenges we face with the design of our homes 
and landscaping. Through discussion and an 
on-site design clinic at local homes, we will 
illustrate relevant, practical ways to make our 
living spaces part of the solution. There will be 
an emphasis on the importance of water and how we 
can use this limited resource responsibly. 
Appropriate for both general interest and those 
looking for an introduction to this new and 
growing career field. Santa Barbara City College
